Got myself a new 250 Gb LaCie External Hard drive today..Just 99$ ..I think its a good deal..
I am copying over my entire drive as I write this...I will then free up lots of space on my laptop..
Thinking of getting it checked by the Geek Squad at BestBuy.
My trusted Vaio is acting funny...Got the dreaded "Operating system not found message".
The hard drive also is making scratchy noises...I feel so bad.. It was a trusted buddy..
I kept it switched off for a while...Now its back up...
I'm going to get a 100 gb or 250 gb HP backup drive today..and maybe a new laptop in a few days.

Saw Fight Club. Excellent movie.. and the Return of the Pink Panther too.. Good for its time..

Went to Chennai Garden a few nights back. Extremely oily food..Serves me right for ordering a Gujarati Thali in a South Indian Restaurant :))

The week just flew by..lots of work and no time for anything else..good in a way..

The new gym is coming along good..Will try to get to a cardio of 30 min followed by 30 min of targeted strength training..and this time i'm not going to be as strict on myself about the diet..I'll try to ease into it..

All righty....Got a call from Columbia today for the interview..
Saw the old Don yesterday..Good movie..I can see why it was a super hit during its time..
and saw Witness after a long time...

I am balding rather rapidly..not that it troubles me...Alarms my wife a bit though :)
Nowadays when I get a haircut, I a\literally have no hair left on my scalp :)
Anyways, I bought BrylCreem today..might as well use it while I can..

new client from tommorrow.

Woohoo!!!
Starting on my new project tommorrow. Cleared the interview. It was a real fun experience..
So now I'll start working again in Manhattan after a long time.
Definitely makes my commute so much easier..
Went to the "WhyMBA" event at Columbia last evening. Was a pretty heavily attended session. Some good speakers. Got to talk to a few alums too. Just hope my app. is being read by someone out there..its been too long since I submitted it :)

Tuck Interview/Visit

Wow...what an amazing place. I really fell in love with Tuck and Hanover.
Had my visit and interview yesterday.
The interview with an adcom member went well...thats what I think ;).
The visit was useful. All the students I met and talked to seemed very pumped up by the fact that they were at Tuck...nice thing..
My class host for the day was very friendly. Since they too have just started term, he asked me to also help out in the case study being analysed in the Leadership class.
Cool gym on the premises. And lots of great eating joints within 5 min walking distance. Yum...
And overall a very nice atmosphere..

Seems to be a good decision on my part to shortlist Tuck...Just waiting for the reverse to happen :))) [Dec 15th seems such a long way away...]
